So I'm creating a portable setup.
Two part post actually:
Question about my current ER-6s:
I currently have a pair of ER-6 which I enjoy, but the right side seems to be going out on them. I think they just need a new filter, but the sound volume is definetly weak on that side. Does that sound something replaced by a filter? Anyway to troubleshoot without buying a filter and replacement tool?
Question about the ER4P:
In the event that they are broke, (or because I'm dumb when it comes to audio purchases) I'm thinking of getting the Etys ER4P with the ER4P to ER4S adapater cable. That way I can amp them when I want, or run them directly out of an iPod when I don't want to carry an amp. Best of both worlds right?
So my question is, does the cable really bring them up to the level of the ER4S, or is this just a gimmick. Does anyone have that setup and can give me some comparison opinions?
How does the ER4P sound unamped? How does it sound amped without the cable? How does it sound with the cable and amped? And the million dollar question, when you use it WITH the cable and an amp, does it sound that much better than WITHOUT the cable and amp? And does the real ER4S sound even better?
I swear, portable audio is harder to set up than home audio.
